Bitbucket login keeps popping up in Visual Studio Code

Question

Dear Team,

I am facing multiple popups of login into bitbucket. I face almost 6-7 popups every time I use VS code and this is getting very annoying. Despite trying various methods. I have failed in getting rid of these popups.

Methods tried:

* Reset user setting in Visual Studio Code
* Uninstalled Bitbucket extensions and alias 
* Upgrade the Studio
* Login with my username and password.

Versions:

Studio: 1.17.1
node: 16.13.0
npm: 8.1.0
CLI: 13.0.3

Please provide a solution to this problem.

This didn't work for me - I was still being prompted.

Setting

git.terminalAuthentication = false

in the VS Code settings stopped it.

These values can be added to .gitconfig file to overcome prompt:

[credential]
interactive = false
modalPrompt = false

I was having the same issue and fixed it with changes in my .gitconfig file.  Quoting the solution I used below along with a link to the original thread.

Two of the ways you can set these values:

* Edit your.gitconfigfile directly. On Windows it should be located at%userprofile%\.gitconfig
* Use git at the command prompt:* `git config --global --replace-all credential.interactive false`
* `git config --global --replace-all credential.modalPrompt false`
